Thank you,please know this has cleared things up for many!!!

[@sierrashere6957]

Thank you for your Biblical teachings, Pastor Andy ❤

[@jolookstothestars6358]

Thank you Andy for doing this. I have a saying," Determinism is the black hole of Calvinism it sucks everything into it and nothing can escape it."

Calvinism nearly destroyed my faith.

[@65gtotrips]

Strict Calvinist teaching or even aspects of it, is directly responsible for people leaving the faith. No question about it. Calvinism makes salvation so much more difficult and confusing than it really is.

[@bobw4941]

Brother, your reach is long. Thank you for explaining Calvinism. I have never felt comfortable with it. Far too many Baptists embrace it.

[@briantamsnaa]

Thank you Pastor Andy and Jim! I so enjoy your teachings. They are a great help for me leading the men's Bible study group at the church I attend. Your books Ever Reforming and The Coming Kingdom are my fav's. I wish there were an online group in your church to be a part of... I live in a very rural area, but the internet connection is great :) Lord bless your ministry!

A very timely study with the recent acknowledgment of Steve Lawson a pastor teacher, who I believe is a Calvinist has admitted to an inappropriate relationship with another woman other than his wife and has been stood down. Does he think and the Calvanists think that God decreed this sin? Do they now think because he didn’t persevere in the faith & fell into sin that he’s now unsaved and not really a Christian? It’s so sad that the theological views of Calvinism are confusing, convoluted and in my view evil. Praying God causes Steve Lawson to review his Calvinistic theological interpretation of the Bible through these events in his life.

The works insinuation built into Calvinism, I believe came out of their original ties with Catholicism. In other words, even though they created the Reformation, I believe they were still tainted with some core doctrines they said they were distancing from, yet they never fully did. Maybe not consciously, but they repackaged their long held ways into different words.

Had a Calvinist tell me that traditional Baptists are one point Calvinists. A one point Calvinist isn't a Calvinist at all! 😂 Looking forward to going through this series.

The Brazilian constitution is diametrically opposed to the American Magna Carta, and is steeped in Rousseau's theory of the "noble savage." We are currently experiencing great legal activism with the consent of the executive branch in a kind of dictatorship of the judiciary.

[@naturallycurly2384]

A note on changing the Gospel...my understanding through the Calvinist that I know- God must regenerate the person and give them faith before they will believe. I can't find that in the Bible.

Calvinism is from Hell

[@hyeminkwun9523]

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then, I will declare to them solemnly, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU. Depart from Me, you evil doers (Matt 7:21-23).' I KNOW My sheep in My Only Fold (John 10:16, 27-28), which is My Only Church instituted on the Apostles (Matt 16:18-19, Rev 21:14) and sent to teach for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:20). "Whoever receives the one I send, receives Me and receives the One Who sent Me (John 13:20) and Whoever rejects you rejects Me and rejects the One Who sent Me (Luke 10:16). Many false prophets will arise and deceive many (Matt 24:11), and lead them away along the broad way to perdition (Matt 7:13). How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to Life And those who find it are few (Matt 7:14). Many are called, but few are chosen (Matt 22:14)."

2 Corinthians 1 King James Version 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 13 For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus. 15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. 17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

1 Peter 1 King James Version 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. The second coming sure is imminent but we know the season

This guy doesn't knows what is neo calvinism, pure mistake! Neo calvinism is the calvinism of Abraham Kuyper, Doowyeveerd, Bavinck, etc. He wants to talk about new calvinism, and not neo calvinism. If he does not know extactly about what he wants to say, he should seek for information first. But, he also does not know what is calvinism, he misrepresents it, pure mistaken information in this video!

[@cherylallis2458]

Maybe he didn't realize that someone a hundred years ago had already coined the phrase. He did say, "...what I like to call Neo-Calvinism." He probably hadn't heard of New Calvinism. Though his terminology may not be as accurate as you like, I have seen and experienced through the years that Calvinism is as he has described.

[@Igrejareformadatabern6980]

@@cherylallis2458 So, as a shoolar, he should know this. And, i am a calvinist theologian and teacher, he doesn't represent calvinism correctly!
